MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan called for media outlets to not cover both sides of what he called “major issues” during a Wednesday forum.
“There are two words we need to remove from our media vocabulary right now and that is ‘both sides,’” Hasan told Semafor’s Ben Smith, a former New York Times reporter, in a video posted on Twitter and YouTube. “This fundamental crutch, this reliance on ‘both sides’ as a kind of lazy way of covering our political moment is deeply dangerous.”
“There are a bunch of major issues on which there are not both sides,” Hasan continued. “There are not both sides on climate change. There are not both sides on white supremacy. There are not both sides to democracy. Ben, there are not both sides on the Holocaust.”
Hasan referenced comments by an administrator at the Carroll Independent School District in Southlake, Texas, in October 2021 that said students should learn opposing views about the Holocaust.
“That’s not what the bill says,” Republican State Sen. Bryan Hughes of Texas, who wrote the legislation that required providing contradictory views on controversial issues, told NBC at the time.
“On the big issues of our time, on whether people should be able to vote, on whether they should be able to get to a ballot box, on whether one party should be able to overturn elections, no there are not both sides,” Hasan said.

NO!!!
These "people" are not stupid. They're not ignorant. They're not uninformed.
They're liars. They're deliberate purveyors of falsheood. They're deliberate distorters and obscurers of truth.
They lust for power above all else. They'll lie to you, steal from you, even kill you to get it. And all the while, they'll pretend they're protecting "the common good".
Filth.
They're not stupid ... they hope we are.
Who is this f***ing moronic idiot? And did the media stopped covering both sides if an issue in the 1990s?
since when have they been covering both sides???
other than to run their FAKE-NEWS that is...
I can’t remember the last time fake news like msnbc covered both sides and I’m not a spring chicken
The minisrty of truth has spoken.
The biggest threat to our republic is the media. They are the worst influence on our society.
It won’t be long we’ll have mandatory “2 minute hate” sessions.

Gee.... Another Indian with Brit and now US citizenship pontificating to us what he thinks the world needs to be. From my perspective, I think the world would be much better if all these Indians stayed there and left us alone.
“There are not both sides to the holocaust”.
If you want to make sure we have another one, keep that thought pattern idiot.
If you don’t want to understand what motivated the Nazi’s you will ensure it will happen again... and hate to break it to you... you will likely be a direct actor in it happening again.
“No both sides of climate change”
Really? The side you clearly think is the ONLY side, has been demonstrably wrong about everything it has predicted for decades... but we shouldn’t listen to anyone who questions the orthodoxy?
The media doesn’t cover “both sides” of anything anymore... not really... it has a desired narrative, and occasionally puts up someone to mock who holds a contrarian view.
Heil Hasan!
I think the ass clown Lester Dolt made this his policy a few years back. As you know he is considered by the MSM as Mr. Integrity. Also gave the murderer of Ashli Babbitt the NBC platform to be a hero. Lester Holt is human debris.
Maybe if she doesn’t like it here she CAN LEAVE!
Replacing “Democrat good, Republican bad” with “Democrat good” is probably for the better anyway.
How do you stop something you never started?
Mehdi Hasan welcomes you to room 101.
